Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup onion chopped
- 2 tablespoons garlic minced
- ¾ cup celery diced
- ¾ cup carrots diced
- 1 cup green pepper diced (or bell pepper variety of choice)
- 1 tablespoon dry herb Italian seasoning mix*
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 lb ground beef 80% lean
- 1 ounce can Tuttorosso Crushed Tomato with Basil
- 1 ounce can Kidney Beans drained, rinsed
- 1 cup water
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 bay leaves
- fresh chopped parsley for serving
- fresh chopped basil for serving
- mascarpone cheese for serving
- Parmigiano Cheese for serving
Instructions
- Heat oil on medium heat in a large pot. Add: onions, garlic, celery, carrots, peppers, Italian spices, and chili powder. Stir and let cook for 5-6 minutes until veggies are soft and herbs aromatic.
- Add ground meat, breaking meat into crumbles, incorporating with vegetables, with wooden spoon for 3 minutes.
- Add Tuttorosso Crushed Tomato with Basil, kidney beans, bay leaves, and water, stir to combine. Let simmer for 30 minutes until meat and vegetables are tender.
- Taste. Add Salt and Pepper to preference. Remove bay leaves.
- Before serving, add a dollop of mascarpone and a sprinkle of Parmigiano cheese, basil, and parsley in each individual serving. Serve hot with delicious no knead bread!
Notes
- Italian Herbs. Store-bought Italian seasoning is a mix of oregano, thyme, basil, and rosemary. You can use twice the amount of fresh herbs, finely chopped, instead of the dried blend.
- Storage: Store in a covered container in the refrigerator for 4-5 days, or freeze (without croutons and shredded cheese) for up to 3 months.
